Description
Use the Contains method to locate an occurrence of a substring in the input string. If the input string holds several occurrences of a substring, the method returns the position of the first matching substring. To search for another occurrence, set a different starting point via the StartPosition parameter.
Declaration
aqString.Contains(InputString, SubString, StartPosition, CaseSensitive)
| InputString | [in] | Required | String | |
| SubString | [in] | Required | String | |
| StartPosition | [in] | Optional | Integer | Default value: 0 |
| CaseSensitive | [in] | Optional | Boolean | Default value: True |
| Result | Integer | |||
Applies To
The method is applied to the following object:
Parameters
The method has the following parameters:
InputString
Specifies the string where a substring will be sought for.
SubString
Specifies the sought-for string.
StartPosition
Specifies the initial position of the search. By default (StartPosition=0), the search starts from the beginning of the string.
CaseSensitive
Specifies whether the comparison should be case-sensitive or not.
Result Value
If the substring was found, the method returns the number of the first matching character, otherwise, it returns -1.
Remarks
This method is obsolete and is not listed in the Code Completion window. It is supported for backward compatibility only. To search for a substring in a string, use the Find method.
